Overview

This is a lovely walk starting at Strathblane, walking along a portion of the West Highland Way to Killearn and returning to Strathblane by the pipe track. This is not a hillwalk but rises and falls gently along the way. It is mainly along country paths and could be muddy in places. There is a short stretch along a road near and walking through Killearn.
